Distribution of Flavonoids Among Malvaceae Family Members – a Review
Distribution of flavonoids among Malvaceae family members – A review Vellingiri Vadivel, Sridharan Sriram, Pemaiah Brindha Centre for Advanced Research in Indian System of Medicine (CARISM), SASTRA University, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract Since ancient times, Malvaceae family plant members are distributed worldwide and have been used as a folk remedy for the treatment of skin diseases, as an antifertility agent, antiseptic, and carminative. Some compounds isolated from Malvaceae members such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides are considered responsible for these activities. Although the flavonoid profiles of several Malvaceae family members are REVIEW REVIEW ARTICLE investigated, the information is scattered. To understand the chemical variability and chemotaxonomic relationship among Malvaceae family members summation of their phytochemical nature is essential. Hence, this review aims to summarize the distribution of flavonoids in species of genera namely Abelmoschus, Abroma, Abutilon, Bombax, Duboscia, Gossypium, Hibiscus, Helicteres, Herissantia, Kitaibelia, Lavatera, Malva, Pavonia, Sida, Theobroma, and Thespesia, Urena, In general, flavonols are represented by glycosides of quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, herbacetin, gossypetin, and hibiscetin. However, flavonols and flavones with additional OH groups at the C-8 A ring and/or the C-5′ B ring positions are characteristic of this family, demonstrating chemotaxonomic significance.

Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan*
® International Journal of Plant Developmental Biology ©2010 Global Science Books Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan* Key Laboratory of Biotechnology & Bio-Resources Utilization, Dalian Nationalities University, Dalian City, Liaoning 116600, China Correspondence : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The flowers of the Malvaceae with varying levels of herkogamy via style curvature have long intrigued evolutionary botanists. This review covers the flower opening process, approach herkogamy, style curvature and character evolution based on molecular phylogenetic trees, adaptive significances of style curvature and the mating system in some portions of the genera in this family. Hermaphroditic flowers of some species have showy petals and pollen and nectar rewards to pollinators. Approach herkogamy, in which stigmas are located on the top of a monadelphous stamen, has evolved as a mechanism to reduce the frequency of intra-floral self-pollination or the interference between male-female organs. Protandrous or monochogamous flowers in the fields open at about 5-7 days and 1-2 days respectively, and pollination is conducted by insects and birds. Interestingly, un-pollinated styles in some species curve when pollination fails. According to our observations and published or internet data, this curvature occurs in 23 species distributed in eight genera of four tribes (Malvavisceae, Ureneae, Hibisceae, Malveae) and appears to have evolved at least eight times. A shift to use style curvature is associated with a shift to annual or perennial herbs, and an unpredictable pollinator environment is likely an important trigger for this evolution. The adaptive significances of style curvature in the Malvaceae include delayed selfing, promotion of outcrossing or reduction in intrafloral male-female interference, sometimes two or three of which simultaneously occur in style curvature of one species (e.g., Kosteletzkya virginica). -

THE present studies were undertaken as part of a programme for eluci- dating the cytology of the genus Gossypium. It was anticipated tha~ chromosome nmnbers and morphology might be useful in distinguishing the genus from closely related genera. Furthermore, it was thought that a cytological study of the entire family Malvaceae might contribute to a bettcr understanding of the evolution of this family and consequently to the origin of the genus Gossypium. The family Malvaceae contains at least 800 species. In the present investigation approximately 120 of these have been examined. As this represents a small percentage of the total number, and as further investi- g'ations are in progress, the present work is factual in nature, and the discussions and conclusions of a preliminary character. II. HIsTouY. Most of the relevant cytological work deals with the genus Gossypium only, the literature of which has recently been reviewed (Longley0a), Skovsted (19, 20)). A few species from ott~er genera have also been studied (Svensson-Stenar (23), Tischler (sh, 2a)). Only three comprehensive studies dealing with larger numbers of species have been published: two of these refer in particular to the flibiscus gro~ctp (Longley(*% Youngman(an); in the third, tile chromosome numbers of fourteen new species repre- 264 Chromosome Numbers in the Malvaceae. -

FLORA of VASCULAR PLANTS in KSIĄŻ WIELKOPOLSKI COMMUNE (CENTRAL WIELKOPOLSKA) Introduction
Roczniki Akademii Rolniczej w Poznaniu – CCCLXXVIII (2006) ANETA CZARNA FLORA OF VASCULAR PLANTS IN KSIĄŻ WIELKOPOLSKI COMMUNE (CENTRAL WIELKOPOLSKA) From Department of Botany The August Cieszkowski Agricultural University of Poznań ABSTRACT. On the total area of Książ Wlkp. commune, the occurrence of 1001 species of vascu- lar plants has been found. Among them, there are six species new for the Wielkopolska flora: Allium rotundum, Eragrostis cilianensis, Malope trifida, Ranunculus friesianus, Sparganium neglectum and Veronica peregrina and two species new for the Polish flora – Taraxacum crista- tum and Typha × glauca. Key words: Wielkopolska, Książ Wlkp. commune, vascular flora Introduction Vascular flora of Książ Wlkp. commune (Śrem district, Wielkopolska province) has not yet been the object of separate research by geobotanists. Only in the work of Spribille (1883) and Szulczewski (1951), one can find single records of species, and in the work of Kaczmarek (1962) there are some localities of calciphilous plants from the discussed area. Our own previous floristic studies supplied information about rare and interesting plant species from the area of Książ Wlkp. (Czarna 1989, 2001, 2005 a, b, Głowacki and Czarna 2003, Głowacki et al. 2005). During field studies carried out in the years 1986-2003, a number of interesting vas- cular plants were recorded whose localities deserve to be mentioned here. In the list below, there are among others: 1) rare species in the scale of Poland (Paprotniki... 2001), 2) species entered into the “red list” for Poland (Jasiewicz 1981, Zarzycki and Szeląg 1992) and species from the “red list” for Wielkopolska (Żukowski and Jacko- wiak 1995), 3) species not widely spread on the terrain of Książ Wlkp.
